Mohammad’s second journey to Syria:
 Unlike his first trade journey to Syria, prophet Mohammad’s second one was a great success. Prophet Mohammad traveled to Syria with the trade caravan of Khadija. Khadija’s loyal servant, Maysara, accompanied prophet Mohammad during that journey. During the Arabicand Quran lessons, kids learn that on the way to Syria and back, Maysara saw a lot of good things about prophet Mohammad. He also could see how prophet Mohammad could easily win people’s hearts through his perfect character as well as his good morals. When Maysara returned to Khadija in Makkah, he told her how blessed Mohammad was. He also told her about Mohammad’s honesty and truthfulness.
The best Quran and Islamic studies teachers teach their kid students that it is the custom of the Arabs that men propose for women in marriage.Women do not propose to men to marry them. However, Khadija wanted Mohammad as her husband. She had a friend called Nafisa. Khadija told Nafisa her heart. Nafisa on her part went to Mohammad and discussed the proposal with him. Mohammad was very happy and asked his uncles’ for advice. Mohammad’s uncles agreed and went to propose to Khadija on Mohammad’s behalf. This way, Khadija’s dignity and reputation was saved. Mohammad and Khadija got happily married.
